Torrance. The speaker was intro
dueed by Mrs. Carruthers, the
county superintendent, i'm a neat
welcome.
Delivered before the teachers in
stitute now in session in this city
from which the occasion drew its
main inspiration or three-fourths OF
is assemblage, il was essentially
md intrinsically an address TO the
eaehers Of the common school Of
kansas. The title OF the lecture was

Donald said that the lecture would
be a criticism Of the public school
system Of Kansas, and he designed
continuing in his criticisms till the
Legislature made the needed changes.
lie charged that the scholar was
pushed forward in his books with
out due preparation in those which
preceded, and cited several amusing
instances I'm which the answers 20
questions in examinations were gro
tesquely given and were wide Of the
correct answer. He ridiculed the
anti-third term idea for school
officers, county and district, and
spoke in contempt Of the law under
which county superintendents were
chosen, saying that this officer was
not even compelled TO be able 10 read
or write. His lecture was fOrcible and
convincing ali through, while being
extreme TO some degree and which
may have exceeded actual neeessi-
ties and every position taken by him
deserved khe widest consideration.
That the school system Of Kansas
yet contains some crudities, or more
properly speaking perhaps some in
cOngruities is not to be denied, and
improvements are required but ex-
treme caution should be exercised 10
make haste slowly" and take no
ill-advised action. The authority
invested in school district officers,
cr assumed by them, 20 dictate
to teachers Of country schools
has q mischievOus and confusing
tendency, and the speaker was quite
eaustic in his structures on that part
of the system" Also there could
be no well-devised "system" under
the present manner Of selecting
school books.
Mr.. AfacDouald's lecture will carry
with it the salutary effect Of awak-
ening the teachers to the Importance
Of the requirments. As a disserta-
ton connected with school matters
It was most timely.
At the close Of the lecture Rev.
DR.. VIM. Bishop moved the thanks
Of his hearers be rendered Mr.. Mac
Donald for his able address, which
motion was carried unanimously by
q rising vote.
Another song was sung by the
class, aud the exercises closed with
benedietiOn.

THREE LITTLE MAIDS.
Their party At the Park Last evening
brilliant succea..

Brilliant Success.
The pulse of the society world was
set in motion few days ago in an
ticlpatiOn Of another OF those sue
sessiul parties that can be produced
only when the ladies take the lead.
The three little maids, Carrie LOwder,
Jennie Berger and Nettie GradwOhl
took 1t upon themselves TO do the
necessary preliminaries, and the sue
cessful climax last evening proved
that they had done their work we'll.
The supper was solicited from the
ladies, and was q sumptuOus one.
The attendance was far beyond the
expectations Of the COMMITTEES, and
the weather, being cool, gave an ex-
hilerating effect TO the participants,
who have been lying dormant dur
ing the heated term. The county
commissioners were interviewed by
these three little maids, and remem-
bering the days Of their youth, con-
scented 10 donate the use Of the park
buildings and all, for this opening
Of the fall season. Carriages began
to arrive early I'm the evening, and
soon the main building was filed
with handsome ladies and gallant
gentlemen, who seemed bent on
making up for lost time caused by
the stagnation of the summer
months. The Salina Orchestra, IN
der the leadership Of Geo. Yung-
fieisch, played some Of their choicest
selections, and filled the building
full Of reproductions from prOmi-
nent composers SOeiability reigned
supreme, and dancing was one Of
the pleasing features Of the evening,
Supper was commenced at 10 o'clock,
being served in agricultural hall
and continued uutll after u. An
amusing incident happened, that the
maids undoubtedly had nOtiplanned
and that was the kerosene famine
which left the party in inky darkness
for a period while the orchestra were
at supper. A supply was soon pro
duced, no Eever, and the pleasures Of
the evening resumed. About one
o'clock the crowd began 10 prepare
for home, invoking blessings upon
the devoted heads who had given
them such a delightful evenings en-
iOyment. Among the guests pres
ent were:

Sidney DePriest was a slave up to
the close Of the war i'm Alabama. The
writer has cOnversed with him on
several occasions and found him to
be an intelligent and sensible old
gentleman, who proved that he
weighed life in its true light by being
endowed with self-respeet and hav-
ing eircumspectly reared a useful
and respectable family. We have
been greatly entertained by his rem
iniscenses OF the fsderals coming
into his region i'm the south during
the war and his description OF the
information furnished them by the
eOlOred people, even TO their danger
from the eOnfederates. Mr.. DePriest
was disposed to warm up in express
ing himself with what enthusiasm
the slaves hailed the coming Of the
blue-cOats.

The Ellsworth Democrat thus re-
fers to a celebrated Salina picnic
party:
One day last week q merry party
OF young lady picnicers left Salina
ON a pleasure trip. They had made
extensive arrangements, having pro-
vided themselves with tent, plenty
Of provisions, a ehaperOn, and two
male protectors who acted a. drivers
and guards over their tents during
their slumbers. They left Salina
early in the forenoon, but owing to
their nOn-acquaintanee with the
roads il was rather late In the after
noon when they reached their desti-
tons Cave, as Il II known In Ellis
worth county.
Just as the sun was sinking into
the west tinging everything with
the golden hue Of evening, the 10y
Gus cry that the tent was pitched
and ready for habitatiOn, was passed
around. The next two or three days
passed pleasantly % all. Many
were the wonders discovered here

burning. Saturday greatly lmprOv-
ed in health, and with faces and
hands darker than q week previous
they returned 10 their respective
homes in Salina, having enjoyed
their trip hugely, as al said.

Death ofThee VERY.


Our community was shocked this

,d-The story Of the sudden termi-
nination Of a promising life takes ~
back few mOnths-sOme time last
winter-when the deceased was sore
" afflicted with rheumatism, and
was confined TO his home for several
weeks. Since that time he has been
filing constantly and his system has
gradually grown weaker with various
ills, principally Of the kidneys, re-
/ sulting I'm Bright's disease, which
doctors say was the immediate cause
Of his death. His age was about 81
years. He kept at his post faithfully
until about ten days ago, when his
increasing ills compelled him to re-
linquish his position. He immedi-
ately set out for Excelsior springs,
where he hoped the water would
benefit him. Mr.. Cravens, who ac-
cOmpanied him, informs Us that he
was restless, having something Of n
presentinent OF his approaching end
and was DESTROYS To return home
with him; but Mr.. Cravens per-
uaded him to remain. Will Nor
risOn received a letter in which
the deceased used the expression that
he might be brought home on
streteher." The deceased started foi
home yesterday, going by a rough
stage road for ten miles, which may
have aggravated his malady, arriv-
ing in Kansas City last evening at
O'Clock, and expired two hours later,
at the house Of his cousin Mrs.
/ Smack.

him. His remains will probably

terms Of his service. The deceased
was universally popular. lie was a
member Of the Democratic party, and
as its candidate came within ten
votes Of an election 10 the Office Of
sheriff, running far ahead of his
ticket. Had he lived he would
undoubtedly have been the candi-
